EW568 - ITH Pieced Christmas Cardinal Star Block

Create a beautiful Christmas quilt block with this In-The-Hoop Pieced Cardinal Star Block! This festive design combines a pieced Christmas Cardinal with a star block, creating a lovely patchwork design that is perfect for Christmas quilts, seasonal wall hangings, table décor and other festive projects.

The block is pieced and quilted entirely in the hoop using the easy sew-and-flip method. The pieces are designed to fit together neatly, helping you achieve accurate points, beautifully aligned seams and a professional-looking finish without the usual stress and guesswork of traditional piecing.

With the piecing and quilting digitized for you, you can enjoy watching your block come together step by step on your embroidery machine!

What Makes This Block Special?
•    Easy sew-and-flip construction: Follow the stitch sequence to add each fabric piece in the correct order.

•    Four finished star block sizes: Choose the size that best suits your quilting project.
•    Comprehensive instructions:  Full-colour photographs and step-by-step guidance walk you through the entire process, from preparing your fabric to assembling the finished block.

What's Included?
This set includes the individual hooping files required to make the block in all four sizes, along with additional files that combine multiple pieces into a single hooping wherever the hoop size allows.
You will also receive:
•    Full-colour photographic instructions with step-by-step fabric placement and stitch-sequence guidance.
•    A comprehensive fabric cutting list and templates for every piece and all four sizes.
•    A block layout diagram showing the placement sequence and identifying each fabric piece.
•    A printable fabric label sheet to help you mark and organise your cut fabric pieces.
The layout diagram is a particularly useful extra because you can colour it in before starting to plan your own fabric combinations and colour placement.

Designed for a Smoother Piecing Experience
All seams throughout the process use a ¼-inch seam allowance, helping to keep the seams neat, flat and free from unnecessary bulk.
The detailed instructions guide you through every stage, showing you where to place each fabric piece and the stitch sequence on your machine. Even if traditional patchwork piecing feels intimidating, the digitized sew-and-flip method takes the guesswork out of the process.
Choose your fabrics, follow the steps and enjoy creating a beautiful Christmas Cardinal star block ready to become part of your next festive quilting project!

**Please Note:** This is an embroidery design set for use with a compatible embroidery machine. Fabric, stabiliser and other materials needed to make the block are not included.
